Compare home loans without filling in the same forms
Mortgage Gateway · 24 October 2026 · 5 min read
Filling out the same forms for every bank adds hours to your home loan search. You want to compare home loans without wasting time or repeating details. With Mortgage Gateway, one online application reaches multiple banks at once, giving you clear options faster. This Budget Season, simplify your property finance comparison and get your free 2-minute pre-approval — no credit score impact, no fuss.
The frustration of repeated bank forms
Imagine starting your home loan journey, only to realise that every bank requires the same information from you over and over. This repetitive task wastes your time and creates unnecessary stress.
A tedious bank-by-bank process
Every time you apply to a different bank, you fill out similar forms, gather the same documents, enter the same details and then wait. It's like retelling the same story to every new lender — and each retelling delays your decision.
Slower decisions and more uncertainty
When banks take their time to respond one by one, you're left in limbo. You might miss out on the right property while you wait, and juggling several applications makes it hard to know whether you're getting the best deal.
One application, multiple banks: how it works
Mortgage Gateway replaces the repetitive process with a single, clear path.
1. Get pre-approved in 2 minutes
Answer a few questions online to see an indicative amount you can afford, with no impact on your credit score.
2. Upload your documents once
ID, payslips and bank statements are uploaded a single time — no re-typing or bank-by-bank forms.
3. We submit to multiple banks
Your specialist prepares one bank-ready application and submits it to several lenders at the same time.
4. Compare and choose
Offers come back side by side so you can compare rates, terms and conditions, and pick the best fit.
It's like having several doors open with one key — instead of knocking on each bank's door individually. With Zero Capturing, you simply upload your documents and your specialist takes it from there.
Transparency and control over your home loan offers
Having all your options laid out clearly gives you control. You see interest rates, terms and conditions in one place, so you can choose based on clear, comparable information rather than guesswork. Here's what to look at when comparing offers:
Interest rate
Even a small difference, such as prime minus 0.5%, can save tens of thousands of rand over the life of your bond.
Loan-to-value (LTV)
Some banks offer up to 100% finance, others require a deposit. This changes how much cash you need upfront.
Loan term
A 20-year term costs less interest overall; a 30-year term lowers the monthly repayment.
Fees and conditions
Look at initiation fees, monthly service fees, and any conditions such as life cover or salary deposits.

What you need for a multi-bank home loan application
Pre-approval only needs basic details such as your ID number and income. When you're ready for the full application, have these documents on hand to upload once:
- South African ID document
- Latest three months' payslips (or two years' financials if self-employed)
- Latest three months' bank statements
- Signed offer to purchase, if you've already found a property
- Proof of residence and marital status details

Speed and confidence in your decision
With quicker responses and side-by-side comparisons, you can decide faster and move forward with your property plans, knowing you've chosen the best offer available to you.
